OK, When I said that
tonight’s NCIS and NCIS Los Angeles would give me stuff to blog about…. I HAD NO IDEA! Wow, just wow.
Before I begin… for
those of you who do not know TIVA = Tony
and Ziva and DENSI= Deeks and Kensi
- I know, I am a hopeless
shipper, but what can I say…
I am going to talk about the relationship parts of both
shows, there are some spoilers… not too
much revealed, but spoilers no less. You
have been warned!
NCIS
I had been hearing that the episode titled ‘Berlin’ would be
full of the romantic tension they occasionally throw at us from Tony and Ziva
- and I heard right. It started with the usual banter in the
Bullpen… but it moves to them in Berlin
to find Bodnar. First in the airplane…the
hushed conversation about the case and their plan; there is something strangely
intimate about it. Then there is the
scene with Tony’s obvious jealousy over Ziva’s “old friend” Adam. Next they are in their hotel and Ziva lies
down beside Tony on the bed and they talk…
to cute. Now, let’s talk about
the dance… ah the dance. It was a cover
for a bit, as she searched the room for K, but then, as she looked into his
eyes – it was just the two of them.
Great moment! The flashback to
her dancing with her father was sweet and then “One day, you will dance with a man who deserves your love” back to present, Ziva staring deeply into
Tony’s eyes….priceless. Then the stupid
bad guy makes his move… but up until then
it was wonderful. Finally, they had the bad guy transferred to
DC and are in the car heading back. Ziva
tells Tony about Orli and her Father and how she may not be the same person if
not for what happened in her childhood. He tells her he needs to call Orli and
thnk her. Ziva just quietly looks at
him, as he takes her hand and threads their fingers together…. So sweet. But they can’t just give us a little TIVA -
that we have waited so patiently for…
NO they gave us some great TIVA
then… POW. My head is still spinning from that
one. They will be dealing with this
until the end of the season for sure. I
am not too worried though, haven’t heard anything about Michael Weatherly or
Cote de Pablo leaving the show. (though
I did see somewhere that she has not renewed yet…) I am
hoping the writers give us a bit more TIVA as they recover, together. This show has been on for 10 years… we have been waiting 8 years for these two to
get together… it may be time for a
little something.
NCIS Los Angeles
I was still reeling from NCIS when I began to watch NCIS
LA. The LA writers like to toy with us
way more than the DC writers when it comes to the romantic tension. They have some fun with it just about every
week, some more than others. When I had heard that the NCIS episode was going
to be TIVA heavy, I had not expected much in the way of DENSI this week. I was
so wrong. NCIS LA was full of great
DENSI moments!
It starts out in the Bullen with Sam asking Kensi to babysit so he can go to the Clipper’s game
with G - Kensi looks so freaked… but Deeks jumps at the chance with, “we’ll do it!” Kensi and Sam both turn him down… Everyone gets on Kensi for hating kids… Deeks looks truly disappointed. They catch a case about a murdered drug lord in Mexico whose body is stolen out of the morgue. Because of Navy involvement in the operation and the possibility of a leak, they are assigned to investigate the missing body.
Deeks and Kensi head to Mexico to meet with an informant who
can give them some inside scoop on the case.
They are in a Mexican bar waiting to meet the drug agent who has the
informant’s information - Deeks and
Kensi talk about kids again and she explains that she doesn't see wanting to
bring kids into the world as it is right now.
Deeks once again offers to help her with the whole kids thing… is it me, or do they have that conversation A
LOT lately? Their connection shows, but
before he can give them all the info, he is killed and the shooters try to take
the informant. Kensi and Deeks escape
out the back with the informant… a teenage singer. The drive back to LA with the kid. Some of the banter in the car seems a bit
forced, but it was there to show Kensi and Deeks “parenting.” The boy, Javier, asks for a lawyer… Kensi says no and he asks why not and she
pulls the “Cause I said so!” line right out of my mother’s playbook. Deeks calls her on it and they begin to
bicker. Javier asks why they are
fighting and they say, in unison, “we’re not arguing, we’re having a
discussion.” Awe… they will make such
adorable parents. (Congrats to Eris
Christian Olsen, who will be a REAL parent by late summer!) They take Javier back to the boat shed and
discuss his options, witness protection,
or help them put the big boss away. Both
Deeks and Kensi reveal a bit of their daddy issues to Javier who is torn about
helping them because the drug cartel boss they are after is like a father to
him. Deeks and Kensi have another moment in the
boat shed observation room, while talking about Javier’s choices. Next they are driving Javier, supposedly to
his WITSEC location when they are pinned down by gunmen and Javier escapes into
the arms of his drug cartel boss. This turns out to be all part of their plan, Javier is wired and they track his location to find the drug boss. Deeks
and Kensi rescue the kid in a shoot-out and the boss is gunned down in front of the
boy. He has strong feelings as he
watches his father figure die. Kensi comforts him while Deeks looks on,
seeing that Kens has a maternal instincts after all. Back at OSP, Kensi tells Sam she will babysit
his kids for him on the condition that Deeks can help her. Deeks teases her that she wants to play house
with him, she never denies it.
I especially loved when Deeks just looks at her and says “This? Changes everything” - both times.
Why are there not more Tuesdays?
